A couple points about listening that made an impact on me:
- When someone is talking, and we are thinking what to say next (or in response) then we are NOT really listening to them!
- Most people don’t want to hear about your similar situation. most people want eye-contact, and for you to listen to their situation and comment/respond about that.
I should read this post every day! I am a terrible listener, but hopefully admitting it is 1/2 the battle! 🙂
